Abstract

This study examines the economy of Aceh during the Japanese occupation (1942–1945), a critical period in Indonesian history. The Japanese colonial government’s centralized and tightly controlled policies had a significant impact on Aceh’s economic structure, which had previously relied on agriculture, trade, and plantations. The Japanese implemented exploitative economic policies, including the control of natural resources and the seizure of agricultural land, to support the war effort. The consequences included a decline in food production, shortages of basic commodities, and a widespread economic crisis among the population, resulting in a deterioration of the people’s welfare. This study employs a qualitative approach and critical historical research, analyzing primary and secondary sources as well as literature reviews to reconstruct Aceh’s economy under Japanese colonial rule. The findings reveal that the Japanese colonial government dismantled the traditional economic order to support the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere’s war machine. The policies of mandatory rice surrender and jatropha cultivation forced the Acehnese people to abandon their traditional subsistence farming practices, leading to mass starvation and chronic food shortages. The circulation of large quantities of Japanese invasion currency triggered hyperinflation that destroyed the people’s purchasing power. The traditional plantation sector also suffered total collapse due to forced land conversion, which severed the export trade chain that had previously been a mainstay of the economy. This Japanese policy has left an economic legacy that has shaped Aceh’s development since independence

Abstract

This study examines the Jalateh tradition as a medium of tulak bala (warding off misfortune) in the community of Sawang District, South Aceh Regency. The Jalateh tradition is a form of local wisdom carried out annually during the month of Safar, especially on the last Wednesday night (Rabu abeh), as a communal effort to seek protection from diseases and disasters. This research employs a qualitative method with an inductive approach through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the Jalateh tradition is performed by walking around the village while reciting the Ya Latif prayer, shalawat, and verses of the Qur’an led by the teungku imum, followed by a communal prayer gathering near the river. This tradition not only functions as a religious practice to seek safety and protection from Allah SWT but also serves to strengthen social solidarity and preserve the cultural identity of the community. The existence of the Jalateh tradition reflects the integration of adat, culture, and Islamic values in the life of the South Acehnese society.
